Control state is lost at render time ASP.Net 1.1

[alsu50]

Hi All,

Here is my problem:

I created a class that inherints from
System.Web.UI.WebControls.WebControl.
I have a dataset "DS" as a global variable for this class.
I have a method, say, GetData() that is referenced from the actual aspx
page (code-behind) and it goes down to the database and fills the "DS".
After this call, I have data and tables in DS, everything is ok.

Then, when the Render method is called, DS is empty. There are no
tables. All the data is gone. Why does it do that and how can I fix
this?

I use ASP.Net 1.1

Thank you.

Got it figured out. I had to declare the control as "protected" on the
calling page.
